Apostille for Fingerprints Document

When planning to use your Fingerprints Document internationally, ensuring its acceptance and recognition is crucial. At 2E Apostille, we specialise in obtaining apostilles from the UK Foreign, Commonwealth & Development Office (FCDO), making your Fingerprints Document legally valid for use abroad.

Why Apostille for Fingerprints?

A fingerprints document, usually issued by a police department, FBI, or other authorized agency, confirms a person’s identity through biometric data. Many foreign authorities request this as part of background checks for:

Immigration or residency permits
Employment abroad
Citizenship applications
Study or professional licensing

Without an Apostille, your fingerprints record may not be accepted outside your home country.

Does a fingerprint document need a solicitor’s certification?

This depends on the type of document.

ACRO Police Certificate: If you have the original, signed ACRO Police Certificate, it generally does not need to be certified by a solicitor or notary public. The FCDO can apostille it directly based on the official signature.
Fingerprint documents from private companies: If your fingerprint document was issued by a private company or lacks a wet-ink signature from a police official, it must be certified by a UK solicitor or notary public before it can be submitted for an apostille. The solicitor will verify the document and issue a certified copy or cover sheet, which is then apostilled by the FCDO.

What is an Apostille?

An apostille is an official certification issued by the UK FCDO. It verifies the authenticity of your document, such as a Fingerprints Document, for use in foreign countries. This certification is essential for documents that need to be recognised by authorities outside the UK.

Why Do You Need an Apostille?

Without an apostille, your Fingerprints Document may not be accepted outside the UK. Whether you’re handling employment matters, legal proceedings, or personal affairs abroad, an apostille ensures your document is valid and acknowledged by international authorities.
